Saskatoon police arrested three people Wednesday morning after receiving a report of shots fired in a home in the 300 block of Avenue P South.

Upon arrival officers were told two female suspects had tried to rob a male and female victim and had pointed a handgun at them inside the home, police said in a news release. A struggle ensued and the female victim was physically assaulted, sustaining minor injuries, before the suspects fled, according to a police news release.

It was not confirmed whether shots were actually fired.

The first suspect was described as an indigenous female wearing a grey hoodie. The second was described as a Caucasian female wearing a black hoodie.

A canine unit was called and led police to a nearby home. A light coloured van was seen fleeing the area and efforts to stop the vehicle were unsuccessful, the release said. Officers entered the nearby home and detached garage, initially detaining seven people and seizing a handgun from the garage.

Three people were arrested; the rest were released. A 36-year-old woman was arrested on an outstanding warrant. A 36-year-old man was arrested on an outstanding warrant and a new charge of breaching a court order. A 24-year-old man is also charged with breaching a court order.
